Phone Bank for Amendment V (10/13)

Open Primaries will spend the rest of this fall supporting the Vote Yes on V campaign in South Dakota, with a weekly phone bank until Election Day. Come joins us as we call voters across the country in support of Amendment V.

Amendment V offers South Dakota voters a rare opportunity to enact public, nonpartisan primaries -- which would give every voter a voice and allow them to elect public servants instead of party servants. Important political reform figures from across the political spectrum, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, have already endorsed it, and the New York Times listed Amendment V as one of the most important ballot initiatives in the country.

Reform starts at the state level. If Vote Yes on V is successful, it has the potential to spread a pro-democracy movement across the country like wildfire. The 26.3 million voters who were barred from voting in this presidential primary this year are still angry, and this is an outlet through which positive change can be enacted.
